He doesn't know. Tsing, the GOP is about how to spend the people's money. The conservatives are a virus hiding within the GOP's attempt at fiscal responsibility. They want a theocracy, nothing more, nothing less. They are no different than the Taliban. It would do you well to see this and begin to call yourself a republican, rather than a conservative.
We've had this discussion before. I totally disagree with your conspiracy theory on the theocracy idea. Conservatives, like myself, want ONE thing over all. That is fiscally responsible behavior. That's it. Tie all the other crap you want in to it as you will, but in the end that is what we want. And there are MILLIONS of people who feel like I do about it. Regardless of what you or I feel, however, the math is going to catch up with us shortly. When that does, it makes no difference what you or I want. Math doesn't care about feelings.
